Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MASLD/MASH can occur in lean individuals; however, the environmental triggers and molecular mechanisms underlying lean MASH are unclear, and suitable animal models are lacking. RESULTS: Mice fed a Western diet with liquid fructose (WDF) develops obesity and MASH (obese MASH). In contrast, high salt supplementation of WDF (HSWDF) produced a lean MASH phenotype with reduced steatosis but induced...
